This will break things if there is a time specified after the date in the
meta date tag, though. A safer fix would be to do the following at that
line:
hour = 0;
if (!isdigit(*s))
hour = 12;

Yes, this is indeed just a kludge on top of a kludge. The proper way would
be to parse the date in the local time zone instead of UTC.

Yes, that is a good point. David was going to automatically generate the
meta date tags using SSI anyway, so it wouldn't involve changing a whole
bunch of pages manually, but the compatibility issue is important. He
wouldn't want his SSI scripting to break when the handling of meta date
tags in htdig is fixed.
